Phys.org / Ambitious climate action could save 1.32 million lives a year by 2040
Ambitious climate action to improve global air quality could save up to 1.32 million lives per year by 2040, according to a new study. The research, led by Cardiff University, shows how developing countries rely heavily on ...
Medical Xpress / Colorectal cancer is increasing among young people, James Van Der Beek's death reminds
An increasing number of people are dying of colorectal cancer at a young age, including those as young as 20. Actor James Van Der Beek, who was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2023, died at age 48 on Feb. 11, 2026, bringing ...
Phys.org / Building blocks of life discovered in Bennu asteroid rewrite origin story
Amino acids, the building blocks necessary for life, were previously found in samples of 4.6-billion-year-old rocks from an asteroid called Bennu, delivered to Earth in 2023 by NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission. How those amino acids—the ...
Phys.org / Why phage contamination is hard to kill, and how charged nanoparticles could help
Bacteriophages are viruses that can kill bacteria through highly specific interactions. While this property can be beneficial in selected applications, bacteriophages represent a serious threat to laboratories and industries ...
Medical Xpress / Light-based sensor detects early molecular signs of cancer in the blood
Researchers have developed a highly sensitive light-based sensor that can detect extremely low concentrations of cancer biomarkers in the blood. The new technology could one day make it possible to spot early signs of cancer ...
Phys.org / Topological antenna could pave the way for 6G networks
Using ideas borrowed from topological photonics, researchers in Singapore, France and the US have designed a compact antenna capable of handling information-rich terahertz (THz) signals. Reporting their results in Nature ...
Phys.org / Psychosocial safety pressures across Australian universities
A landmark report from Adelaide University is providing the most comprehensive picture to date of psychosocial safety across Australia's higher education sector. The study identifies widespread well-being and psychosocial ...
Phys.org / Bio-based coating reveals harmful UV exposure by shifting color
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a coating using proteins and bacteria that could enable the development of T-shirts that warn of excessive sun exposure or labels that reveal damage to ...
Phys.org / Saturn's moon Titan could have formed in a merger of two old moons
Recent research suggests that Saturn's bright rings and its largest moon, Titan, may have both originated in collisions among its moons. While Cassini's 13-year mission expanded our understanding of Saturn, the discoveries ...
Medical Xpress / AI-built maps reveal causal gene regulation across Alzheimer's brain cell types
Researchers led by Min Zhang and Dabao Zhang of the University of California, Irvine's Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health have created the most detailed maps to date showing how genes causally regulate one another ...
Phys.org / New study assesses potential dust control options for Great Salt Lake
A new collaborative study, led by University of Utah Professor of atmospheric sciences Kevin Perry, provides policymakers, agency leaders, and the public with the most comprehensive assessment to date of potential dust control ...
Medical Xpress / Newly identified brain circuit and cells link prior experiences to appetite
Our past experiences shape how much we eat and where and what we choose to eat. Using preclinical models, researchers from Mass General Brigham and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have identified brain cells that translate ...
